忘れられた歴史 | Nicholas Bailey | TEDxKings College School

ウィンブルドンのKing's College School、Year 10のNicholas Baileyが、有名な人名や年号の陰にある歴史について語ります。話は、ビルマでチンディット部隊に従軍した曽祖父についての家族研究から始まります。この部隊は第二次世界大戦の記述ではほとんど取り上げられません。さらに19世紀のエチオピア皇帝と、世界最古の文字体系にも触れています。TED形式に従い、地域のコミュニティが独立して運営したTEDxイベントでの講演です。

• ビルマでチンディットに従軍した曽祖父の家族研究
• 19世紀のエチオピア皇帝
• 世界最古の文字体系

Nicholas's great-grandfather served with the Chindits in Burma, a force that rarely appears in accounts of the Second World War. Beginning with his own family research, and taking in a nineteenth-century Ethiopian emperor and the world's oldest writing system, he makes a case for the parts of history that sit behind the famous names and dates. Nicholas is a Year 10 pupil at King's College School, Wimbledon. He enjoys all his academic subjects, but is particularly passionate about History and Classics. Alongside his academic studies, he is a keen musician. He is a member of the English Schools Orchestra and principal horn in the Stoneleigh Youth Orchestra. At school, he enjoys debating, hockey, tennis, and reading club. In his free time, he likes Lego and reading books about history. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
